There are a number of brands to choose from.
How much "sporterizing" has been done to your No 4? Many of the no-drill mounts need the charger bridge and rear sight ears to be still intact.
Having owned examples of the following types of mounts, I'd rate them in the following order:
1. Fultons or Armalon from the UK.
2. S&K or Accumounts from the US
3. Addley Precision from Canada
4. B-Square
5. Cad-Technik / DAI Management
6. ATI
Check my photos. This is what has been done to it.
Get the Fulton’s mount... I bought one from Brian Dick on a whim thinking I wouldn’t keep it (I prefer to shoot my milsurp rifles with irons unless they’re sniper rifles) and I was blown away at how solid it is. While I took it off it’s so well designed I couldn’t bring myself to sell it. It’ll get used again.
The charger bridge has been partly ground away on the left; there might not be enough left to mount a no-drill mount properly. The Fulton,Armalon,S&K,Accumounts, and ATI types all use the bridge as part of their securing method.
The Attley, B-square, and DAI Management ones use other mounting points.
Your rifle is already drilled for scope mounts though?
Yes it's already drilled, but I have no idea for which one. I bought it that way.
Hang on a minute, these guys will tell you...Quote:
